Chapter 816: Chapter 817: The Crown Prince Ascends, It’s Only Natural for This Minister to Step Down
Xia Yangyang spoke up, “Where are we going now?”
“Where do you want to go?”
“Don’t you have to work today?”
“I can skip work to be with you.”
After some thought, Xia Yangyang said, “Nevermind, I’ll accompany you to work. I’ve been missing the beef stew with potatoes from the Shengyuan staff canteen.”
Gu Qichen smiled, “Foodie.”
In fact, Xia Yangyang was missing Xia Ye.
Xia Ye was now basically brought to Shengyuan by Gu Qichen every day.
Gu Qichen had even specifically placed a child’s bed in his office.
Every day, when Xia Ye was deep in sleep, he would rest in that bed.
The people from the secretarial department basically all knew that the president’s son needed to sleep at least eighteen hours a day.
But everyone really liked Xia Ye.
They took turns caring for him, almost in rotation.
Xia Yangyang went to the Shengyuan Building.
As expected, Xia Ye was still asleep inside the office.
Gu Qichen’s office had deliberately been partitioned to include a small room, which was arranged as a children’s room.
Whenever Xia Ye woke up, he would come out on his own to find books to read.
Xia Yangyang stayed in there with Xia Ye, and the soundproofing between that room and the office was also quite good.
When she came out after a while, Xia Yangyang actually saw Xi Zijun in the office.
It seemed that Xi Zijun was discussing work with Gu Qichen.
Miss Xi showed a trace of surprise upon seeing Xia Yangyang.
Xia Yangyang gave her a slight smile.
But in her heart, she was very skeptical.
Just now, in the car, Gu Qichen had claimed that Jiang Group had taken over the property in Luhe Lane.
Xi Zijun, being the general manager of Jiang Group, if she really had done such a thing, how could the two of them still sit together and discuss work so harmoniously?
Gu Qichen stood up and walked towards Xia Yangyang’s direction, “Why don’t you sleep a bit inside?”
“I’m a bit hungry, can’t sleep.”
“Then let’s have lunch first.”
“It’s okay, you guys go ahead with your work.”
Gu Qichen, as if he had thought of something, said, “Zijun is now the deputy general manager of the marketing department at Shengyuan Group, in charge of developing Shengyuan’s business.”
Xia Yangyang was very surprised, “Isn’t Miss Xi the general manager of Jiang Group?”
Although Shengyuan is also a large group, compared to a top global business empire like Jiang Group, which ranks among the top few worldwide, it’s quite a step down. Without a special reason, surely no one would give up the position of general manager at Jiang Group to choose to be the deputy head of marketing at Shengyuan.”
Xi Zijun also stood up, her face wearing a professional smile, somewhat indifferent and distant, “Miss Xia might not know that Gu Zhaohan has taken over the family business and has assumed the position of general manager of Jiang Group. With the ‘Crown Prince’ ascending, naturally it is time for this ‘outside minister’ to step down.”
Xia Yangyang was truly shocked.
Gu Zhaohan ascending to power?
These days, Xia Yangyang had always been out of touch with the news about Gu Zhaohan.
She only knew that she had resigned from Simpson Hospital and returned to her country.
But Xia Yangyang had not anticipated that Gu Zhaohan would give up his beloved field of medicine to take over the enterprise of the Xi Family.
Xia Yangyang felt a void in her heart.
She couldn’t help but feel that Gu Zhaohan’s departure from medicine might be connected to her.
Gu Mingzhu had given her a month’s time.
She said that if she could properly resolve the relationship between herself and Gu Zhaohan, enabling him to give up on his own initiative, she would accept her again.
Xia Yangyang had always wanted to find the right opportunity to have a proper talk with Gu Zhaohan.
But now it seemed that the shock she brought to Gu Zhaohan might be more severe than she had imagined.
After being stunned for a while, Xia Yangyang suddenly looked up and asked, “So the one who took over the property in Luhe Lane was directed by Gu Zhaohan?”
